A week ago, Kim Hyun Joong released the audio track to his song, “Please“, which he then followed up by releasing a music video for the same track. Then yesterday he released the music video for the title track, “Break Down“, and now the audio for the entire mini album has been unveiled!

When 2NE1’s highly-anticipated first album hit shelves back in September of last year, no one predicted that it would achieve the explosive results that it did.

With a staggering amount of pre-orders, over a million YouTube views for each of their triple title-track MVs, and a triple-crown win, the ladies of 2NE1 can add yet another accomplishment to their ever-expanding resume.

According to data compiled by the Philippines’ music retailers, Astrochart/Astrovision, 2NE1’s album “To Anyone“, became a #1 best-seller! Not only that, but their “First Mini-Album Re-package (CD+DVD)” also claimed the #2 spot on the chart.

The girls wanted to personally thank their Filipino Blackjacks for making this achievement possible, so they uploaded a video expressing their thanks in Tagalog.

Check it out below!

2NE1: Mabuhay Philippines! Wassup, we 2NE1!

Dara: Thank you to all of our Filipino Blackjacks for supporting us. We hope that you will continue to support our new album, “To Anyone.” Mahal namin kayo! (We love you all!)

Last year, the ladies of SNSD / Girls’ Generation kicked off their 1st Asia Concert Tour titled “Into The New World” in Seoul. The girls have visited various countries in Asia over the past year on their tour and recently SM Entertainment revealed that SNSD would release their first live album titled The 1st Asia Tour “Into The New World” on December 23rd.

The live album will have 2 CD’s and contain a total of 38 tracks with various songs the girls performed on the tour. Recently, a preview revealing some audio samples for the upcoming album was released.

The price of the album is 20,000 won (around $17.32 USD) and 16,000 won (around $13.85 USD) online.

SNSD’s music video for “Oh!” has been chosen as the most watched video of 2010 for YouTube Korea.

The “Top 10 Most Watched Videos of 2010″ list was revealed through the channel “YouTube Rewind 2010“, which featured charts from every country. SNSD dominated the Korean chart, ranking in at first with “Oh!”, while “Run Devil Run” came in second, “Hoot” in ninth, and “Oh! (Dance Version)” in tenth.

“Oh!” also managed to rank on Hong Kong’s and Taiwan’s 2010 chart, coming in at sixth and first place respectively. Meanwhile, “Run Devil Run” grabbed third in Taiwan and ninth in Japan.

The girls are currently preparing special stages for the year-end episode on KBS 2TV’s “Music Bank“, airing December 17th. They took first last year on the show, and many are wondering if they will continue their winning streak this year.

The end of the year is near, and the Korean music industry is abuzz with news of upcoming awards shows that seek to recognize the most outstanding artists in a multitude of categories.

As a nod to these important events in the K-pop realm, allkpop has decided to initiate our first ever “allkpop Awards” this year, and we’re inviting fans from all over the world to determine the results!

That’s right – the votes will be 100% determined by international K-pop fans.

In order to ensure that the results are achieved in a fair manner, we’ve established a system in which votes can be submitted once a day per category via Twitter or Facebook.

Fans can vote as many times as they like over the course of the awards voting period, but again, only one vote per category per day will be counted.

We are aiming to make this an award that accurately represents the opinions of the international K-pop community, so check out the nominees below, and help decide K-pop’s best of 2010!
